Magical Escape
Struck form over hurdles in the spring, winning in novice company at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) and Ffos Las (2m6f, good to soft); switched to fences for this handicap debut and probably still has significant potential; had another wind op (his third) last month; high on the list.

Ajp Kingdom
3-8 over hurdles; placed in two of his four chases this season, more notably when runner-up at Worcester (2m7f, good) on second occasion, but has become very inconsistent and is unlikely to be favoured by rain.

Florencethemachine
Winning Irish pointer who was 2-6 over hurdles last season, the latter success gained in Chepstow handicap (2m7f, good; also has form on soft) in April; looks a very good candidate for chasing this term.

A Definite Getaway
Beat 12 rivals to score on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and bumped into an improver when second over that C&D last month; not discredited when upped to 3m2f three weeks ago but a couple of the others appeal more here; suited by good/good to soft; unraced on anything slower.

Valentino
Very lightly raced in recent years but returned from latest layoff when very encouraging fourth over hurdles at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in June and has slipped to a good mark for this chasing debut; blinkers removed after one use; raced mainly on good ground.
